Need audio approval on my new upgraded space and sound treatment
After multiple sessions with an audio expert and added sound treatment to my space, I believe that I have all issues corrected and have the audio quality to return to VB.
Please listen to this sample and let me know if it still does not meet VB quality standards.

If so, I will get with my audio guy to correct any issues you note and post the corrected files here for further review.
Thanks!
I can't wait to get back to making happy clients with VB!!

The link to the audio didn't go through last time for some reason.
Here it is again.
Hi Ripley!
Thanks for sharing! The recording sounds really well! I personally like it a lot. It sounds a bit too filtered at some areas for certain frequencies. This could be caused by a multi-band compressor or a noise reduction. If you're using a compressor, I would highly encourage you to remove it and take care of the filtering with just the EQ.
Hi Ripley,
What mic are you using? Sounds a bit sibilant to my ear. Really nice read btw.
Thanks.
Its a sennheiser mkh416
I've not used that mic but it sure gets great reviews.
Best of luck in your v/o career.
Okay after another meeting with my sound guy, I have three samples for Mr. Bunny to give notes on.
This first sample is totally raw with no treatment.

This second sample is without any EQ or compression

This third sample is with slight EQ and no compression

Please listen and let me know which setting I should use going forward.
Thank you!
I am eager to get back to work.
I love being a Bunny Pro!!
Hi Ripley,
Wow! The first thing I noticed is how quiet your room is. Sounds great. That Sennheiser 416 is built for use in film and tv - used on a boom pole usually - so it's designed to pick up those mids and mid-highs really well. My preference was the raw file - sounds nice and smooth. Editors can add some EQ & compression if they wish.
Nice work!
Hi Ripley!
It sounds great! I agree with Joe, the raw file sounds the best to me. I didn't understand the difference between the first file (raw) and the second one (no eq no comp). I think the raw sounds better because the other one is a bit too bright for my taste. It's causing some sibilance too.
Love the acoustics! it brings such clarity! :)
Best,
Juan
Hey Juan,
The first file has no processing of any kind.
The second file has some slight declicking, a tiny bit of noise reduction, and some dynamic processing under 83dB.
The third file has all of the same processing as the second file, plus some EQ adjustment to remove sibilance and add clarity.
All of these settings were done by my audio professional and have been checked and rechecked for accuracy.
Which one did you feel was too bright and sibilant? I need to know so that my audio guy can find what it is you are hearing exactly.
In the meantime, if you say that the raw file is the best one, and guarentee that it meets or exceeds Mr. Bunny's Quality Control standards, then I will use those settings going forward and hopefully will not get any further rejections for audio quality.
Thanks for your help!
Hey Ripley!
The third file is the most bright and sibilant. I personally think it's too aggressive. But both 1st and second file sound good!
We shouldn't have a problem with rejections as long as the deliverable's quality is consistent and the client's instructions are met! :D
Best,
Juan
